Sir Knight Bob Cawley was not a member of our Council for very long, but he is greatly missed. We are proud to call him Brother Knight of the Bishop Francis J Council 11855 and Sir Knight of the Fr. Henry Miller Assembly 2308. He was an active member who was always there to help when help was needed and always had a smile on his face. He was a devout Catholic who exemplified the Principles of the Knights of Columbus (Charity, Unity, Fraternity, & Patriotism) in the way that he lived his life. We are honored to have had the privilege of providing SK Bob with an Honor Guard and Chalice Ceremony.

While we are saddened by our loss, we take solace in the knowledge that SK Bob is now with our Lord. As was said in the Chalice Ceremony,
WORTHY SIR KNIGHT UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
